Wedding Breeze

I think I’ve put on some weight in these three months since I had selected my wedding gowns. I couldn’t fit into my evening gown, and it was traumatizing! The seamstress immediately went to let out the seams for me to try, and she said she would get it ready by this weekend for my wedding photoshoot.

I’m going to take studio shots first, where I would probably have a change of 3 costumes. I saw some of their backdrops and I was not very impressed. They appeared to be rather worn out.

I saw their costumes of prince and princess, and I had seen these on other people’s wedding photos of the same bridal studio. I guess I wouldn’t be dressing up. Their Japanese kimono doesn’t look grand enough. The one I saw in Japan was extremely beautiful and costs at least S$3000.
 
If I really wanted, I’ll go and rent the costumes from my favourite costume shop, Masquerade, in Bali Lane. Since I already have so many wedding photos, I guess I’m not going to take that many again.

Perhaps it’s because of my overseas wedding photos that I am not that excited about my current photo shoot. My colleague told me she took photos in the back streets of Chinatown and in Sentosa.

Since I have all types of outdoor scenery, except the local buildings, perhaps I’ll ask the photographer to focus on these. Unlike other brides who checked their photographers’ portfolios, I didn’t do it. Or rather, my bridal studio did not ask us to do so. Hence, I have not spoken to the photographer on which areas we would be going to.

I’m not planning to go to places where there is lalang, like far flung Punggol, and my husband doesn’t intend to do so too, because he had just finished serving his reservist duty and had been crawling and crouching in the jungle and outdoors for a week.

Perhaps for our outdoor wedding photo locations, we could take pictures of the Esplanade, Supreme Court, Fullerton Hotel and some other ethnic enclaves in Singapore for the local flavour. We had an outdoor gown for this purpose, one that is much older, so I just chose a ball gown with tube top that the lady passed to me. The other gowns were not that nice.

I have shoes for my wedding gown, but I don’t have shoes to match my wine red evening gown. Black heels, perhaps?

My husband has borrowed the Number 1 army uniform which is in white for the top and black with gold trimmings on the side. I think the cap looks a little strange on his head, but he’s proud of his officer roots, so he is going to wear that. He has also bought a bow tie. I find it strange that our bridal studio is not providing such things.

Oh well, I hope the weather will be great this weekend! After the wedding photo shoot that includes both studio and outdoor photography, we will have to rush to my grandfather’s birthday dinner.
